The increasing awareness of sexual orientation and the desire to discuss and compare among friends is indeed a product (maybe good, maybe bad) of the gay ‘revolution’ of the last 20 years. Certainly people deserve to be judged and dealt with on a fair and impartial basis – gender and choice of orientation should have nothing to do with fair competition for employment; the provision of housing and all manner of social services, etc.

However, there exists a certain element in the lesbian and gay community that wishes to annoy and harrass anyone not of their orientation. I cannot imagine anything more counter-productive, but it is a factor I observe almost on a daily basis in my city. The increase in mutual discussions is most likely due to a heightened awareness of and acceptance of alternate sexual orientations. My personal feeling is: ‘Fine, do what you like; only don’t bother me or my family. When my kids are old enough to understand themselves, I’ll accept whatever choice they make. Until then, I am not bound to promote gayism just because other straight people damn it; and I have no intention of granting greater favor to a gay person (over a straight person). I insist on everyone being evaluated on their own merits – not as part of any special interest group.
